This dashboard explores the distribution of mobile cellular subscriptions across countries using three different mapping techniques. The data comes from the World Indicators dataset (WORLDINDICATORS.JSON). I focused on the region of [your chosen region, e.g., Europe], which includes more than 12 countries to provide meaningful comparisons.

The purpose of this dashboard is to show how different cartographic methods can highlight patterns in the same dataset:

1. Dot Density Map (Static)

   • Each dot represents a fixed number of mobile subscriptions.
   • Dots are randomly placed within country boundaries.
   • This helps illustrate population distribution visually, giving a sense of where mobile use is concentrated.

2. Proportional Symbols Map (Interactive)

   • Each country is represented with a circle symbol.
   • The size of the circle is proportional to the number of mobile subscriptions.
   • This makes it easy to quickly compare countries: larger circles = more subscriptions.

3. Choropleth Map (Interactive)

   • Countries are shaded according to their mobile subscription totals.
   • Darker colors indicate higher values, lighter colors indicate lower values.
   • This method provides a clean overview of regional disparities and highlights geographic trends.

By combining these three map types, the dashboard shows not just the raw numbers, but also patterns, inequalities, and spatial relationships in mobile technology adoption across countries.

The GitHub repository linked here contains all code, data, and steps I used to build these maps, ensuring full transparency and reproducibility.
